I can pretty much guarantee you are not prepared for the wave of giddy hopefulness that will wash across this city if/when they announce a Mamdani Duwaji baby.

1) Hey, let's do something perfectly normal and helpful that we've been doing for decades
2) No
3) Ok, then we're not doing this other thing at all
4) Ok, let's do the first thing but change it in some way to make it slightly worse and also skim some of the profit into an offshore bank account
5) Ok

Attention app/saas developers: an optional paid upgrade or new subscription is NEVER appropriate to put under an ACTION REQUIRED banner in your app.

Watched the first episode of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and that was a mistake because then we immediately watched the next three.

Every time the price of bitcoin drops again, you can ask yourself these two questions:

1) like rain, why doesn't it drop a little more
2) like a cat, how did it get up there in the first place

Your regular reminder that most immigration violations aren't even *criminal offences*. This is like militarizing the task force in charge of too many parking tickets or overdue library books or murdering people for jaywalking.

I think a thing some people need to come to terms with is that there is no "sensible" conservative position. It leads here. It has always led here. Either the government exists to try to help everyone or it doesn't.

Someone at my dojo guessed my age range, and came in 10-14 years lower than my actual age. Do martial arts, kids.

Y'all The Bone Temple was really good. I think it's the most entertaining movie I've seen in recent memory, outstanding filmmaking craft. Nia DaCosta knocked it out of the park.

Is the problem the sunlight or the magnifying glass used to focus it and start a fire?

It might have something to do with the fact that our best minds insist on publishing their thoughts on platforms that promote and encourage nazis, and think that’ll just be fine as long as it helps them build their audience.

This is an excellent thread from a former Republican on the irony of how knowledge of the world also makes people feel more ignorant in comparison, and the corresponding social factors of conservatism, the politics of fear and intolerance, and the desctruction of institutions of science.
